Le Mystere Isabella All Over Lace Bra

If You’re Petite with Large Breasts

A common problem for petite women with large breasts is underwires that are too long. Because your frame is small, but you need more coverage, the underwire pokes through to the side because it has nowhere else to go. This can get very uncomfortable if the problem persists. A great solution for this issue is a balconnet style. Because the cup isn’t full coverage, the underwire is shorter and won’t poke, however, it still has enough coverage to support you.

You would think with all of the bras being tailored to the “average” body, that “average” women would have no problems finding fantastic bras. This may be true but only for those women who actually know their real size. Because there is an abundance of bras for those sizes, women don’t necessarily see the need to get fit. This often leads to compromising either the band or cup. So ladies, if you’re wearing an ill-fitting bra, get fit! Once you do, your options will expand ten-fold.

Deep Plunge Dresses

Jennifer Lopez is no stranger to jaw-dropping, low-plunging necklines. From the infamous green Versace dress she wore to the 2000 Grammy’s to the Robert Cavalli couture gown she wore to the Benjamin Button premiere, her choices always make you ask “how do her boobs do that?!” The answer to that question is “easily.” As in you can easily accomplish the deep plunge look with the proper bra. Introducing the Fashion Forms Convertible U-Plunge Bra. This bra is great because it has an extra low bra band, enhances your cleavage and can be worn in three ways. It’s also a steal at $27.

The asymmetrical look is here to stay and stars like Scarlett Johansson, Blake Lively and Anna Paquin are more than happy about that. Each star has been photographed in this trendy style and each has had fantastic looking boobs. But how? How do you have them both be on the same level without showing a bra strap? The answer, yet again, is “easily” – just wear a convertible bra. We recommend the Natori Sheer Scroll Convertible Plunge Bra.This bra has a low-cut neckline and removable straps that can be converted into a criss-cross, ideal for the asymmetrical dress.

Gabourey Sidibe

Strapless Gowns for Plus Size Shapes

It is a common misconception that plus size women can’t wear strapless gowns because there are no bras to hold up the girls. Gabourey Sidibe, star of the hit film Precious, proved otherwise. Gabourey made waves when she showed up on numerous red carpets in strapless, form fitting gowns. Her statement to the world was she was proud of her body and wouldn’t let her size stop her from wearing glamorous gowns. To achieve a similar look, we recommend the Elila Strapless Longline Bra. This bra runs up to 46H and comes in black, nude and white. Not only is it pretty, it provides support in all of the right places.

The Nu Bra, a Silicone Adhesive Bra.This bra has adhesive on the inside so it will stay on all night. It also has the added benefit of a center clasp that clips the two cups together for shape and cleavage. Win win.
